Death to the Media-Whores!
Comrades, after a period of enforced retirement, I have returned to preach the revolutionary gospel that the ruling classes do not want you to hear!
I must ask my comrades the world over if they know of any greater Philistinism than the current news-media? O, how for many years we have suffered the iniquity of unending celebrity coverage and hand-wringing on subjects that are fairly minor in the world-scheme. They sit, prattling about subjects of vast insignifigance whilst literally earth-shaking events are given no coverage at all. They have spawned the Evil One, Connie Chung, and Geraldo Rivera. They made the nineties one of the most terrible decades so far. They created the toxic culture that allows disease to flourish. And people, who should be out creating the dictatorship of the proletariot, instead become unduly fascinated with a dim-witted set who embody all of NuLabour's failures living in a house.
Comrades, do you remember all of the ludicrious fads that have been perpetrated on the people by the media whores? The memory of a coven of overly-tanned bleached-blonde crones attempting to put on a concert of the "survivor" song that was so popular a few years ago is still fresh in my mind. Remember the faux-leather pants? Or the pre-worn pants? Perhaps the phenomenon of the Spice Girls?
Take, for example, the Michael Jackson case. What's my opinion? Who cares! It only demonstrates my new theory of personal worth.
It's long been taken in our society that everyone's life is somehow equal. This is not manifest in our media. Based on my observation, I think the life of a celebrity is worth about twenty whites or one hundred blacks. Worse off are Asians and Africans. A celebrity's life is worth about 500 asians and up to 2,000 africans when it comes to coverage. Of course, this is a rough estimate, but I think a mathematical review comparing position and column inches to subject matter will bear this out.
Death to the media-whores! Let us be free of their endlessly trite lives! We shall throw off the shackles of the media culture and Hollywood! All Power to the Soviets!
